If I was a vegetarian


Ryan and I were vegetarians for about 3 weeks, but then relented and started eating chicken once again (and every now and then pork or beef). With dinner tonight I made side dishes that would be good enough for a meal. (see pictures)


For spinach...on low heat, saute minced garlic in 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. After garlic is browned (careful not to burn them!), add in a couple of big handfuls of baby spinach. Stir on low heat until all spinach is wilted.


For potatoes...parboil fingerling or baby yukon gold potatoes in salted water. Drain and let cool. Slice in half lengthwise. Put in a bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Then place potatoes, skin side up, on a hot grill for about 15 minutes. After they have nice grill marks in them, put back in the same bowl with the oil and salt and pepper.


For bread...put olive oil on bread with garlic salt (or chopped garlic if you're feeling more ambitious than I). Place bread on a grill (or under a broiler) for about 10 minutes.


Enjoy!
